Wow! What an incredible event. Thank you to Encore Boston Harbor for inviting us to join their Feed the Funnel event, a community volunteering initiative where staff, partners, and volunteers aim to pack 600,000 nutritious, plant-based meals for Greater Boston nonprofits and food banks. Members of our staff and board enjoyed teaming up to surpass the goal of packing 100,000 of bags of food during our shift. We are also grateful that our free food markets will receive some of these freshly packed meals to distribute throughout the community.
